Qantas Business Class meals & menus

[kpro]

QF43. Spot the difference. Service was a lot faster this time thankfully, maybe because it's a shorter route? Beef was quite a bit more overcooked.

Has the order which the meal orders are taken changed with this service as well? I've recalled for ages that the FA's would dance around the cabin taking orders, I believe based on status or maybe PCV? It seemed more like row by row from my last two flights.

I'm now pretty sure the service order has changed on international J. FA's just go from row 1 downwards taking orders now. I know some people probably don't care, but high status at the back of J and you might not get your choice.

Many here rave about QR, but several recent flights this year and the food has been awful but the service is top notch. I think I’d prefer relaxed and edible.

I didn’t do QR in the past year so that’s really disappointing to hear. Finnair J is my current fave - superb dining, superb service on four out of four flights.

Unlike the ME3, AY is completely analogous to QF, so it makes the QF all the more disappointing. I mean, coughpy service in First?

I’m sorry, I know this is OT but it just brings the standard that’s exhibited throughout this thread into relief.

I’ve not done AY for a while, but it was generally pretty good F&B and crew. I miss the days of Elk and Reindeer being regulars on the menu but our fav was an early morning flight - I think it was out of HKG - the the FA asked if we wanted champagne. So which we said, “Is it too early?” and she correctly said “It’s never too early for champagne!”. A very enjoyable flight from there.

As for QF, I have no significant complaints about QF J service. Multiple Asia flights, SCL and YVR have all been good. Actually a real hoot of a trip on QF1 up in the lounge on SYD-SIN. Got a bit tipsy up in the lounge.

Ironically, the AY wetlease home was pretty ordinary but the seat was fine.

Yes, as you would’ve seen from the other thread I took SYD – BKK wetlease and then onto the Finnair flight through to HEL and they were very different experiences, shall we say.

As a Platinum on the recent QF12 they still took my order first in the A380 mini cabin at least.
